Steve - Sorry about the late delay, my internet access was down a  
couple days.

All I know about is my keys for a 1966, but I think they are the same  
for a 1967.5 - ask an owner. I don't know about the blanks. Ask  
around, someone might be able to help you find one. Like I said, the  
valet key is slightly shorter - looks like a regular key that operates  
all locks can have the tip ground shorter to only operate the doors  
and ignition like my valet key. I've got copies of my 66 keys, "Curtis  
DA-18". Or you can look for shorter blanks.

I have found similar keys on eBay.  The long key to access all locks  
looks like
  Key Blank Taylor D74E D. L. DT6 Datsun Nissan 1966-1970
(Enter this in an eBay search).

The shorter valet key for door and ignition only looks like
Key Blank Dominion Lock DT1 Datsun Nissan 1966-70 D74F
(Enter this in an eBay search).

My keys look like the Dominion keys, except for having a Griffin and  
NISSAN logo in the center of the square key head on both sides. Im not  
certain these blanks will work, but the pictures appear to match my  
keys.
